There is a small stream in this grand canyon, but after the rainy season, this small stream will turn into a river.
There is a low-lying lake in the middle of the Grand Canyon. The water from the rivers and streams on both sides of the canyon will gather here. It is said that there is a crack less than a foot wide at the edge of the lake. As long as the water level of the lake exceeds the crack, the overflowing river water will
All the wine will leak into the cracks.
The lake in this grand canyon is surrounded by lush herbaceous plants and clusters of low shrubs. Except for some pheasants and hares, there are almost no other wild animals in the valley.
The footprints on the river beach were very clear. A young hunter in the team squatted next to the footprints, observed them carefully for a while, then raised his head and said to everyone:
"There are only five people's footprints, no horses, and they don't seem to be walking very fast. I don't know what happened in their team. Someone seems to be injured!"
This young hunter named Abu was wearing a fur coat, but he was shirtless. Not only was he carrying a hunting bow, but he also had a hatchet and a beast trap hanging on his waist. His hair looked messy, and his eyes were very bright.
, even if it is a handful of sand or a leaf, he likes to pick it up and put it under his nose to smell it.
The young guide from Digo Village said: "You said they sneaked into the Grand Canyon. What did they want to do?"
Abu said to the young guide: "Maybe he wants to find out the specific location of your village. Didn't the village chief tell you? This bandit group has already looted three noble manors in the south of Helensa City."
The young guide looked innocent and said sincerely: "But there is nothing in our village except the wheat that is about to be harvested. Even for wheat, we have to wait at least a month!"
"So these bandits are just exploring the road, not a large-scale invasion!" Abu stood up, patted the sand on his hands, and said to the young guide and the young people around him: "The same is true when wolves are hunting. They first look around.
When they find prey, they will not rush to hunt it. Instead, they will gather the wolves, lay a big net, and slowly trap the prey into the big net. They are a group of the most patient hunters.
You can always seize the best opportunity to hunt.”
When the young guide heard what Abu said, he immediately showed panic and asked quickly: "You mean these bandits will be like a pack of wolves? Are these people just coming to visit our village?"
"It should be about the same!" Hunter Abu nodded. In fact, he thought so too.
A young man next to him asked: "Abu, have you ever hunted a pack of sand wolves?"
Hunter Abu shook his head in embarrassment and said with regret: "I have only hunted ordinary wolves, and they are more cunning than I thought."
"Wow……"
When everyone heard what Abu said, they all exclaimed in amazement. The Abu looked very simple, and just said naively: "This is nothing, sand wolves are the most powerful wolves around here. I would like to advise you all,
When you encounter a pack of sand wolves in the wild, you must remember to run as far as you can.”
Surdak walked behind these people and thought: Fortunately, there are no young people from Wall Village in the team, otherwise Surdak's hunting of sand wolves would be exposed at this time.
The young guide from Digo Village stood at the front of the team and said to everyone: "Let's chase them quickly. If there are only a few of these bandits, with so many of us, we can consider catching them."
Suldak stood next to Knickerbocker and couldn't help but ask Knickerbocker: "Has anyone gone missing in your village recently?"
"I've never heard of that..." Knickerbocker replied.
A young man next to him suddenly said: "Speaking of this, someone in our village really disappeared, probably the day before yesterday. Everyone thought he went to pick up mountain goods in the forest at the mountain pass, but they didn't take him seriously."
When the first group of twenty-five young people reached the central area of the Grand Canyon, they finally saw the lake in the canyon. This area is extremely low-lying. After the stream flows here, you will encounter several large drops.
There are some beautiful waterfalls in these river sections. Nowadays, the amount of water flowing in these streams is slightly insufficient, so these waterfalls are almost dry in many places.
The Abu asked the team to stop again. He squatted next to a bush very alertly, pushed aside the grass here, and once again saw some messy footprints.
"I have a feeling that they may be nearby..." young hunter Abu said to everyone.
The guide who led the team here said: "Let's spread out and search nearby. We must be careful and try not to disturb them."
…
The four bandits had to stop near the lake in the middle of the Grand Canyon because the leg of the villager they captured from Digo Village was pierced by a spear, and the sharp tip of the spear was stuck in his left leg.
The robbers did not try to pull out the spear tip. Not only did they not pull out the spear tip, they also tied the villager tightly with hemp rope.
There were blood stains on the corners of the villager's mouth, and it was obvious that he had been beaten frequently. The villager's resistance was quite effective.
After walking for most of a day, the bandits had just reached the middle of the Grand Canyon, and on the south bank of the lake, the bandits had to stop again.
The bandit leader kicked the limping villager to the ground, and said angrily: "With this guy, we may have to walk in the Grand Canyon for three days before we can get out, otherwise we will
Let’s interrogate directly here…”
The other three robbers did not object, so the robber leader said: "Since no one objects, then the matter is settled."
After saying that, he took out a parchment scroll from his arms, walked to the groaning villager lying on the ground, unfolded the parchment, brought it to the villager, slapped it first, and let the villager
The villager who was tied behind his back woke up and punched the villager in the stomach. Then he handed the parchment portrait to the villager's eyes and asked him in a tough tone:
"Have you ever seen this woman in your village?"
The villager was beaten quite miserably along the way, especially the penetrating wound on his thigh, which made it almost impossible for him to walk. Four bandits dragged him all the way here.
The villager reluctantly opened his swollen, peach-like eyes, glanced at the unfamiliar face in the portrait, and weakly shook his head.
"If you think about it again..."
The villager still shook his head.
The bandit leader scratched his head with some annoyance and stopped questioning. He directly reached out and lifted up the villager's collar. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the dagger in his hand stabbed the villager's heart accurately. Then the villager's body was thrown away with a bang.
by the lakeside.
The bandit leader wiped the blood stains from the dagger on the villagers, and said in a somewhat irritable mood: "Let's go back the same way and go to that village to catch another villager. If he says the same thing, it means one thing, the target is not Diego."
